'PADLOCK PROCEDURE i - LAUDED BY HAYNES Credits Injunction Method as Most Effective Means of Enforce- ment Work. 'REPORTS PROGRESS SHOWN Expresses “Fair Degree of Satis- faction” on Results Recorded. Snapping padlocks on broweries, hotels, cabarets dance halls and nther shops flaunting the prohibition aw, so as to close up the places for a year, has become one of the most generally used and effective means of enforcement, Prohibition Commissioner Haynes said today in & statement on the third anniversary of his taking office as commissioner. Although no padlocks were .'zm\ prior to 1922, under injunction®pro- ceedings to abate liquor nuisances, the commissioner announced that reports from United States attorneys show that up to May 15 of this year 9§ such injunctidus have been in- tifited.

Many mno- torious jlaces in New York have closed on permanent injunc- | tions. among them being a number | of restaurants, cabarets and dance halls and, according to the most re cent information available, over 1,200 injunction proceedings have been in- stituted in New York City alome. | “A report recently received from William Hayward, United States at-| torney, New York, shows that from january 1. 1924, to May 1. 1924, 235 oft drink saloons were closed by ¥ rctions for a period of one vear.

June 11—Viscount Tshii, Japanese ambassador to France. com. menting today on reports that his governmment was being influenced to appeal to the league of nations on the American immigration question, said that he had received no instruc- tions authorizing him to bring the matter before the council. He added that he did not expect any such in- structions as the question still was being handled by Tokio and Wash- ington through regular diplomatic channels. OFFICIALS HERE SILENT. w Keen Interest Aroused by Prospects of Ishii as Envoy. Tokio dispatches indicating the prob- able selection of Viscount Kihuhiro Ishii as ambassador to the United States were received with keen inter- est in official quarters here today, but comment was withheld pending re- ceipt of formal notification of the change. Viscount Ishii, it was said, is well known in the United States. both for his wide experience in the diplomatic field and his great knowledge of Amorican-Japanese relations. In the negotiation of the Lansing-Ishii agreement relating to China he was in the public eye for many months. He has an especial knowledge of im- migration questions which have arisen between the two countries. Japanese embassy officials also withheld comment for the time being. It has been indicated, however, that Ambassador Hanihara would retire atter completion of his work in con nection with exchanges betweem the United States and Japan on the im- migration question. Toklo advices have said that Am- bassador Hanihara would be given a lead, but in diplomatic circles it has been taken for granted that passage of the immigration bill with its ex- clusion provision made it certain that |ha would leave the post permanentl The question of an American amba: sador to succeed Cyrus E.

HINTS OF TREATY GIVEN. | Californian Declares Advices Say | Presigent Favors Step. By the Aseociated Press SA. RANCISCO, June 11.—Ad- vices from Washington sources in- dicating President Coolidge had de- cided to negotiate an immigration treaty with Japan and have it ready for submission to the Semate in De- cember were read by V. S. MoCiatehy, prominent exclusionist, at a rneeting of the Lyons' Club here vesterday. Such & treaty would supplant the | exclusion feature in the immigration bill in so far as the Japanese are affected, Mr. McClatohy said. “Japan will not consent to nor sign any treaty which does not give her nationals preferential rights over all Asiatic races” he said. “She has definitely stated that she is en- titled to such recognition in view of her rise to a world power and her position as the great power of Asia.” MONTHLY PAY RATE SEEN AS LOOPHOLE TO MEET INCREASES (Continued from First Page.) to these faithful employes as soon as possible, consistent with careful study of all pertinent facts. FEARED BILL'S FAILURE. | Donovan Offered Remedy, Which | ‘Was Turned Down. The record of hearings before the Senate subcommittee on the District appropriation bill reveals that Maj. Daniel J. Donowgn. auditor, entertain- ed the fear a week ago that Congress might not have time to authorize the money to pay the new salaries for policemen, firemen and teachers. When the District bill was being passed on by the Semate subcommit- tee he requested that a sentence be inserted in that bill which would have forestalled the present dilemma, but he was not successful. Donovan's suggestion was that the amounts carried in the District bill for police, fire and teachers' salaries be made available to pay the new in- creased salaries in case the deficiency bill failed. Nothing developed at the District building today to prevent these three groups of workers from suffering a reduction in pay next month, but the Commissioners have not lost | tereat in the situation and some de- velopments are expected within the next few days. There is still ample time for the authoritics of the federal and Di trict governments to look for a poi sidble solution of the difficulty, since the pay envelopes will not be af- fected in any event until July 15. The pay they receive July 1 will be for the last half of Jume and will not be reduced in amount. S Asks for Self-Government.

Reader, Touchedby Story, Sends Contribution for Ear Sets. Fourteen more poor and feedy in- valids who have been confined to their ‘beds for long periods by blind- ness, lameness or the ravages of in- curable diseases. appealed to The Star today through ministers and physicians for radio sets donated to The Star's “shut-in fund.” These “shut-ins” have been told that radio will alleviate their suffering and make the seemingly long hours of their confinement shorter. One of tlie appeals from the In- valids came through Rev. J. Milton Waldron, pastor of the Shiloh Bap- tist Church. Describing the condi- tion of this “shut-in," Dr. Waldron sald: Pastor Describes Case. “Nearly a year ago he underwent a very merious operation for a disease that threatened his life} he bas never recovered from this operation and most of the time since he has been confined to his room and his bed.

This is only another of the many useful movements The Star is always inaugurating for the benefit of the people of the District and I assure you that it is deeply appre- ciated by thousands.' Touched by the letter of thanks from the wife of one of the first invalids to receive a set donated to which was published in this paper Monday, an anonymous subscriber today contributed 33 to the fund for the purchase of a pair of headphones for the woman so that she will be able to “listen in" on the radio concerts with her bedridden mate. not improve Read About Imvalld. “1 read in The Star ahout the in- valid who has been ‘shut in' for thirty-five months and how much he enjoyed his radio” said a letter ac- companying the $3 donation. “I am thinking also about the wife who takes care of him, and she probably doos not get out hardly any, and 1 would like her to have headphones S0 she can enjoy the sermons and concerts with him. If there is only one set of phones there, please take my money and get another for her. If she has them use the money for the fund.” A number of crystal sets and equip- ment left at the Peoples Drug Stores by radio fans as the result of the appeals broadcast from WCAP by Le Roy Mark, who started the “shut- in” fund, were turned over to The Star today. They will be acknoml- edged tomorrow afier the names are carefully checked Centributions Received.

SHIP BOARD VETOES GULF TRADE MERGER RBejects Fleet Corporation Head's Plan, Holding It Would Hurt TU. S. Shipping. The co-operative spirit which was promised at the time the functions of the Shipping Board and Fleet Corpo- ration were defined under the so-call- ed divorcement resolution has re- ceived another jolt, it was indicated today, after the board had turned down the recommendations of Presi- dent Palmer for consolidating the | sovernment's gulf trade routes. Mr. Palmer took over the job of merging the cargo services at the time the separation was effected, and felt for the first time the effect of the board's veto power when his plan to amalgamate the North Atlantic- United Kingdom routes were reject- ed, because the Fleet Corporation head recommended the withdrawal of eleven ships from the trade. The board now has sent back to |Mr. Palmer his recommendations for merging the gulf services, which are operated by nine managing agents, to Europe, the far east and South Amer- ica. The plan calls for a reduction in tonnage from 104 to 95 vessels, and the curtailment in the number of operators from nine to | seven, by eliminating Page and Jonés of Mobile, and combining Trosdal, Plant and’ LaFonta and S. Scitcovich & Co. into_ one line operating out of New Orleans. Approximately $2.- 300,000 a year would be saved by the arrangements. Seek Gulf Trade. The board, in passing on the rec- ommendations, held that a greater aving could be effected by rurther reducing the number of operators rather than the number of ships and the retained agents allocated addi- tional tonnage, thereby reducing overhead costs. To curtail the num- ber of vessels, the board believes, would actuaily result in some of the Gulf trades falling into foreign hands. It called attention to the United Kingdom consolidation, under which the original five operators were reduced to two, and expresses a belief that a further reduction in the operators in the Gulf trade could be brought about without sericusly affecting the cargo business and trade names already established. Although disputing the contention that more operators can be dropped in the Gulf merger on the ground that the routes carry, with the ex- ception of two operating to South America, in different directions all over the world and probably would result in top-heavy berths — Mr. Palmer will call another meeting of his consolidation committee in _an effort to arrive at & plan which will be more in line with the board's wishes.

FIELD PAY TANGLE T0 GO TO COOLIDGE iService Heads May Ask Leave to Pay Bonuses Out of Reg- ular Funds. equipment re lust twenty-four Sth street, pair street, sets, The plight of mere than 100,000 fleld servios employes, inoluding be- tween 1,000 and 1,500 residing in the District of Columbia, who faee a cut In pay after July 1 because the re- classification appropriation bill failea of enactment, will be taken direct to President Coolidge. This was ascertained today when it was learned that reports are being drawn up in the many departments and establishments having services in the fleld—including practically all of them—for submission to the bureau of the budget. Will Co-Ordinate Proposals. Tt is understood Director Lord of the bureau of the budget will co- ordinate the many proposals from all the different establishments and de- partments, as to how to prevent a pay decrease, when Congress passed a bill allowing a pay increase, and will_lay the whole problem before the President. Gen. Lord was out of the city today, but is expected to return with in a few days. In the meantime scores of officials throughout the city anxiously were endeavoring to figure out ways and means of solving the problem, and the matter was the sub- ject of spirited discussion among officials charged with the responsi- bility for administering the la Plan to Keep Up Pay. Some officials will recommend, it was learned definitely today, that the departments and establiShments be authorized by the President to pay the ssme Jalaries az at present re- ceived by tI service employes, out of the funds appropriated for the coming year, apportioning their appropriations so as not to violate the spirit of the anti-deficiency act. These officials through the bureau of the budget would ask President Coolidge for authority so to proceed in all the fleld seryice. It was ar- gued by them that thers would be no difficulty at all in the matter of the persons who are paid out of a lump sum appropriation and there probably would be no Serious dif- ficulty in the matter of those paid under statutory salaries. No Decision Reached. No definite decision had been reached at the bureau of the budget togay. No formal application had been made to the controller general, asking his opinion about the matter. The controlier general has before him the question of salaries for the police, firemen and teachers, submit- ted by the District Commissioners, who are in a quandary as to whether they will have to reduce all these salaries by the amount of the 3240 | bonus, because of failure of the sec- ond deficlency bill in the Senate by filibuster. The field service people are in an entirely different situation. however. The appropriation for their salaries ‘was in the bill which failed. Difference in Cases. There were those in high circles in the government today Who were free to predict that if there could be a way found to prevent the cutting off of the $240 bonus money for the field there might be an equal pessibility of paying the increased salaries pro- vided in_ the field service reclassifi- cation. In other words, old and homely illustration, it was thought by some that Uncle Sam could “go the whole hog or none.” A blow will be struck at morale in the government service throughout the world, it was agreed today, if the field service people lose their bonus after July 1. umber in Washington. Civil Service Commission records do not indicate exactly how many per- sons in the field services are located in Washington.

BY HIRAM K. MODERWELL. By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily Z News. Copyright, 1924. ROME, June 11.—An official dis- patch ffom Bishop Fannoli foday confirms the capture of Tirana by Nationalists, the first troops having entered the town late Tuesday night amid@ wild enthusiasm and the soldiers were showered with flowers. Amet Zogu, with a dozen faithful followers, fied to Jugoslavia. The fall of the Albanian capital, which completes a sweeping victory for the patriotic Democratic party. is said to have occurred without blood- shed. When Amet Zogu, fendal boss of the old governmenf, marshaled his forces Monday in the market place of Tirana, he discovered that all the leaders of his party had fled and nearly all his followers had gone over to the Nationalists. Not Anxious te Die. Zogu asked the population whether they wished to resist to the last drop of blood and they indicated that they decidedly did not, whereupon, ac- cording to a Bari displatch, he fled. With the fall of Cavaja confirmed late Tuesday, all the gates of Tirana were opened. A real siege of Tirana might have been bloody. The town, which lies in a mountain pass overlooked by snowy peaks, could be barricaded so as to offer resistance for a long time. It is evidence of the popular char: acter of the present movement that such a struggle was unnecessary. Bishops in Charge. Bishop Fannoli, who virtually is minister of foreign affairs of the pro- visional government, has telegraphed all foreign representatives in Albania that henceforth they are subject to the new government. The Nationalists face a difficult task. The national finances are in ruins, since the rich have mot been taxed and the government has spent all it had on salaries. It had no money left for roads and irrigation, on which depends development of the country to the minimum standard of civilized life. The old tribal structure of Albania was a constant temptation for petty civil wars, sapping the strength of the nation and impeding ecomomic progress, thereby offering easy oppor- tunity for bribery by foreign agents. The basic idea of the new govern- ment of Albania is that there must be a nation, not a collection of more or less hostile tribes. The first item on its program is to ecollect taxes to cover minimum administrative needs. The second is to obtain comparative- Iy small loans from abroad, which are necessary to build roads, 'to pur- chase agricultural machinery and to irrigate the land. The country is good and it is certainly able abun- dantly to support the comparatively um,r-l.lu population. e government can probably ob- tain moderate financial support from aboard if it can prove the ecomomic soundners of the country. Finaneing of Revolt. The financing of the Nationalist up- rising was curious. A sort of in- formal “liberty loan” was issued by the conspirators (who began plotting & year ago), secured by the land o four big feudal families who are the chief object of Nationalist hatred and whose gigantic estates were largely amassed by fraud at the expense of the poor peasantry. One of the first acts of the new government will be to retire bonds by dividing and selling the estates. The carres?ondem. was a guest of one of the four Beys—Sami Bey Vrioni. gon-in-law of Essad Pasha—in 1920 at his estate. _Though his land was desolate and uncultivated, his hoyse groaned with expensive things. some beautiful and many not so beautiful. His sincere but barbaric hospitality consisted in foreing on the writer a dinner twice as big as any man could eat. He ob- viously was not inteligent. Cer- tainly his feudal mentality was wholly unsuited to the governmast of a poor nation under modera conditions. With the breaking of the power of Sami Be{ and others like him and confiscation of their estates, Albania definitely emerges from the feudal epoch whose downfall began in France nearly a century and a half ago, and begins a new period of Albanisn his- tory.

Match play rounds will start Friday, with the finals in all six flights scheduled for Baturday afternoon Since but ninety-six golfers can qualify out of the entire list of 360 odd, the fight for places in the flights promises 1o be a merry one, with the probability that several of the habit ual first-flight men will be dropped into lower brackets, as is usual in « tournament of this size Out-of-Town Players. Out-of-town golfers who stand by reputation above the cream of local talent are noticeable by their absence, but from New York toda came a golfer who may overthrow the calculations of some of the best golfers hercabouts. Norman Macbeth. former California title holder and one of the leading golfers of the Paoific coast, will play in the quali- fying round tomorrow, with Guy M Standifer, and is probably the only entrant from out of the city who may overthrow the hopes of the local con- tingent. Leading possibilities from cities out side of Washington include Gordon F. Wood of Richmond, who tied for the qualifying medal last vear; H Crim Peck of Lexington, Va. Tom Sasscer of Baltimore, former Middle Atlantic champion, and Frank M Sweeney. former Maryland state champion.

H De Although the ink is hardly dry on the District appropriation act for the fiscal year beginming July 1, many branehes of the municipal govern ment already have begun to figure up what they will need for the fiscal year 1926. The Commissioners have not sent out the formal order for the prepar- ation of estimates, but some of the agencies are getting their expense secounts in preliminary shape. The board of charities, which pre- pares the budget of expense for the jail, werkhouse and various obari tabie institutions, met this morming for a tentative discussion of next year's estimates. Maj. J. Franklin Bell engineer Commissioner. held a conference thix week with his department heads, at which the program of work for the coming tweive months was gone over and the preparation of new estimates diseussed. ) The ocity heads probably will wa for some word from the budget bu reau before issuing a formal notice to department heads for the =ubmis- sion of estimates. ahoo, Dorothy Dinges, Katherino Logan, Sylvia Abramson, Margaret Pitchiynn, Pearl Payne, Eifa Smith, Mary = Koons.
